School: Texas A&M. Garrett is just too good to pass up. He's explosive off the edge. If he works at it and stays healthy, he could be the best DE in football.

PICK

2

Jamal Adams - S

School: LSU. I want to give them Leonard Fournette, but I think Kyle Shanahan got spoiled in Atlanta with middle-round backs like
Devonta Freeman and
Tevin Coleman. Pair Adams with
Eric Reid, and you'll have one of the best safety tandems in football.

PICK

3

Marshon Lattimore - CB

School: Ohio State. Lattimore is the best CB in this draft. He'll affect the pass game.

PICK

4

Leonard Fournette - RB

School: LSU. They have to get better on offense. Fournette runs angry. He changes their whole offensive philosophy. He'll take pressure off of
Blake Bortles.

PICK

5

Mitchell Trubisky - QB

(PROJECTED TRADE WITH TITANS) School: North Carolina. Cleveland trades up to get its QB. Trubisky is the QB prospect most ready to play. I would prefer not to play him this year because I think it will take him a while to adjust, but at the end of the day, he'd come in and compete for the starting job.

PICK

6

O.J. Howard - TE

School: Alabama. I love Howard. He reminds me of
Greg Olsen. He helps in the run and pass game. He's tough, he's fast and he'll play Day One.

PICK

7

Solomon Thomas - DE

School: Stanford. I think they'd be ecstatic to land Thomas. They can play him outside on early downs and inside in sub packages. His quickness is similar to
Aaron Donald's.

PICK

8

Christian McCaffrey - RB

School: Stanford.
Cam Newton took a beating last year, and they need to take some run-game pressure off of him. McCaffrey's athletic skill set is similar to
LeSean McCoy's.

PICK

9

Jonathan Allen - DE

School: Alabama. Allen is my No. 2 player in the draft. He can flat-out play.

PICK

10

Reuben Foster - LB

School: Alabama. Buffalo could go in a lot of directions here, including QB, but Foster's tape is so good that it reminds me of
Luke Kuechly's. There are off-field concerns with Foster, but his tape is awesome.

PICK

11

Charles Harris - DE

School: Missouri. They have to get better on defense. Harris must get stronger against the run, but he will be a double-digit sack guy early in his career.

School: Alabama. I want to give them Patrick Mahomes, but the roster is playoff-ready. Humphrey has everything you want in a CB except for one thing -- he struggles finding the ball in the air. If he can learn to do that one thing, he's a
Pro Bowl corner.

PICK

14

Mike Williams - WR

School: Clemson. Philly needs corners, but it's time to support
Carson Wentz with this pick. Williams is a lot like
Alshon Jeffery. He's physical and will block. They can play basketball on grass with him.

School: Temple. Reddick was a walk-on and might be the best story in draft. He lit up the
Senior Bowl.

PICK

17

Takkarist McKinley - DE

School: UCLA. They need immediate help off the edge. McKinley has a great motor. He has some shoulder issues. If their doctors don't think he'll be ready to go full speed on Day One, they can't pull the trigger here.

PICK

18

Adoree' Jackson - CB

School: USC. They double down on playmakers after taking Ross. Jackson can compete Day 1 to play opposite
Logan Ryan at CB and brings value as a kick returner.

PICK

19

Malik Hooker - RS

School: Ohio State. Hooker is the best centerfielder in the draft. They need a dynamic guy on the back end. Hooker is that guy.

PICK

20

Ryan Ramczyk - OT

School: Wisconsin. Ramczyk has the ability to start at left tackle. He's coming off of hip surgery and I've been told he passed all the physicals.

PICK

21

Corey Davis - WR

School: Western Michigan. Davis provides instant impact. He's physical and tough. I think he comes in with an attitude.

PICK

22

T.J. Watt - OLB

School: Wisconsin. They need an edge rusher, and DNA don't lie. The league is divided on Watt, the younger brother of J.J., but I think his quickness and explosion off edge gives Miami what they need now.

PICK

23

Garett Bolles - OT

School: Utah. When you protect
Eli Manning, you win football games. Bolles comes in and competes at right tackle. He's the most athletic O-lineman in this draft.

PICK

24

Cam Robinson - OT

School: Alabama. He's the most gifted O-lineman in this draft. He's plug and play right tackle. He helps big-time in the run game and will develop as a pass protector.

PICK

25

Deshaun Watson - QB

School: Clemson. Bill O'Brien goes all in on Watson, who plays his best football when the lights are brightest.

PICK

26

Forrest Lamp - OG

School: Western Kentucky. If I have a favorite player in the draft, he's one of 2 or 3 I would nominate. He's played tackle, but he's going to be an inside player in Seattle.

PICK

27

Dalvin Cook - RB

School: Florida State. Cook is a big play waiting to happen. His tape is outstanding.

PICK

28

Tre'Davious White - CB

School: LSU. White is probably not the sexy pick that
Cowboys fans want, but he can fill a variety of roles on defense and he has added value as a returner. This is a very solid pick.

PICK

29

Alvin Kamara - RB

School: Tennessee. Kamara runs through tackles. He has the lateral jump-cut of a
LeSean McCoy. When you include him in the pass game, he's almost as good as Christian McCaffrey. He put on a show at his pro day.

PICK

30

Jordan Willis - DE

School: Kansas State. Willis had an outstanding combine. He needs to get stronger against the run, but he's a natural bender who can get around the edge and rush the passer.

PICK

31

Jabrill Peppers - S

School: Michigan. With the ball in his hands, Peppers is special. He'll be a core special teams player. He can play strong safety and nickel. He fits what Dan Quinn wants on defense with quickness and toughness.

PICK

32

Patrick Mahomes - QB

(PROJECTED TRADE WITH SAINTS) School: Texas Tech. I told you I wanted to get Bruce Arians and
Carson Palmer together with Patrick Mahomes. We do that here. They move up from No. 45 to No. 32 and it only cost them a third-round pick. They get their QB of the future.
